He is now to the point where he is smiling for reasons other than gas! He is just over a month now, and still changing so much everyday. We still haven't decided who we think he looks like. One minute it is Syd, the next he is more Abs. Only time will tell, maybe he is just Eli!
Sydney is in preschool this year. She has been waiting since last fall to be going to "school" like the girls. So she was super excited when Abby was in 1st grade, that being the marker that let HER start school. This week we had our first field trip to Miller Farms. It was quit the adventure. There was lots to do and not enough time to do it all. Most of the time was spent on a huge wagon pulled by a tractor through the giant field of corn, pumpkins, potatoes, carrots, onions....and we got to fill a bag. 
So last night was my first official excursion, by myself with all four! So I didn't have anyone to take a picture of the momentous occasion, but these pics are a good representation. To my very pleasant surprise, Eli slept the whole time, so it actually went well! I lead the crew with the shopping cart, and the girls followed behind with one pushing Eli in the stroller.
We are loving our new addition. The girls are as a HUGE help, as they do not like it when he cries, and he cries plenty!! He is training them well. I can't believe he will be a month on Tuesday! The last of family left on Tuesday. I was so blessed to have so much time and help from family, a total of three weeks!! Not to mention a ton of help from all our friends that kept us fed and helped keep Sydney entertained. Aaron and I really appreciate everything...Thank you!!
Our little guy Eli Aaron came to us as planned August 25th. Everything went well and he was 10lbs 2oz, yeah not so little right? These are pictures from the his first week, he has already changed a ton, but as you can tell I am a little slow sharing, more will come, no worries:)
